The 20-story W provides a contemporary contrast to the surrounding Art Deco buildings in South Beach. Its 347 studios and suites range from a spacious 574 square feet to a sprawling 3,000 square feet, giving guests plenty of room to spread out. Accommodations also feature nine-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to balconies with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Suites come with living rooms and kitchens or kitchenettes, and some also have washers and dryers. All have HDTVs, CD/DVD players, iPod docking stations and Cippolino marble baths. Wi-Fi is available for a surcharge. Make time to sun on the full-service beach, Sand, swim in one of the two pools (one is oceanfront), lounge in a luxe cabana and sip poolside cocktails on the spacious palm-lined sundeck. Break a sweat on the rooftop basketball and tennis courts, Swish & Swing. When cocktail hour hits, enjoy hand-crafted cocktails at Living Room Bar and explore original artworks by greats such as Andy Warhol and Julian Schnabel. The hotel also hosts several restaurants and bars, including the roots-inspired, American concept The Dutch and the authentic Beijing spot, Mr. Chow. Bliss Spa, concierge service and a 24-hour fitness center are also on hand. Pets are allowed, and valet parking is available, both for an extra fee.
